When and Where We Ride:

Thinkbike Whistler allows riders to test the equipment escorted by seasoned guides from Whistler Bike Guide, Arbutus Routes, and Bear Back Biking. These 3 leading guiding companies in the Sea to Sky Region will take you on incredible trails suited to your ability. Tours will leave each day at 10 am and 1 pm from the Thinkbike Whistler tent located in Lot 2 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with only a 10 am going out Sunday when we wrap up at 2 pm.

Whistler Bike Park- Thursday, June 1, Friday, June 2.

Thinkbike Whistler has also partnered with Whistler Bike Park to provide 3 lift accessed rides for all participants on Thursday and Friday. We did this as the lifts and the line ups are too big on Saturday and Sunday due to the high demand. All other programs are discounted 40% for all Thinkbike Whistler participants including DFX Camps for kids on Saturday and Sunday.

Community-Celebrating Our Mountain Bike History

On Saturday night we present “Talk Dirty To Me” with infamous trail-builder tails of how they got her done. Proving that asking for forgiveness is easier than getting permission helped create this place we will discuss how the environment has changed and the amount of energy and resources needed to keep it alive has grown exponentially.
